Crosswalks

Pierce County Crosswalk Policy

We use marked crosswalks:

At approved school crossings

At signalized intersection

This policy follows the philosophy of marking crosswalks to encourage
proper use. In the first case we are encouraging school children to use a
crossing which is being monitored. In the second case we are
encouraging all pedestrians to avoid a prohibited crossing. Our goal is
to use marked crosswalks only where necessary to direct pedestrians to
the safest route.
